Here in California where housing cost is a REAL problem we need to build about 3.5 million housing units just to catch up. Government bureaucracy is one of the biggest barriers to building more affordable housing here. Okay, maybe it is the local NIMBY contingent as well, but that is part of the bureaucratic process. I think building more units will go a lot further than attempting to give people enough money for a down payment.
